        And thank you government for allowing the continued sale of all power to the highest bidder because of your refusal to punish open bribery.

          Government is us. We’ve got no one to blame for this but ourselves. I mean people like you and myself might see this as the obvious problem. But far too many people are oblivious or simply don’t have a problem with it. Or have been made to feel that we have little resource for it and simply must accept it.

      We’ve been warning about dangerous infrastructure for years now. It’ll only get worse until we start building for the next millennium.

        Sure, and that future likely involves a lot of trains.

        I want super high speed rail instead of airplanes. I want regular high speed rail instead of highways. I want medium speed rail instead of roads. And so on. The technology is there, and we already have the land for most of it, we just need to stop building so many roads and actually build solid rail infrastructure.
